Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 248
Some civil and military people are genuinely terrified. When facing Lao Zhu, they will instinctively feel fear.And some people just knelt down, thinking that the matter had nothing to do with them, they just didn't want to look too dazzling and be caught by Lao Zhu.

Old Zhu was condescending, looked at the civil and military officials in the court, and asked sharply, "Tell us, in the [-] years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, has there ever been an unfair imperial examination? Why did such an incident happen this time!"

Zhu Yunying stood up at this time, with a sad look, "Grandfather, this time it was Sun Chen who didn't handle it well."

"You stand aside first!" Old Zhu said directly, not giving Zhu Yunying a chance to regain the initiative, "Let's deal with this matter!"

Come on, the stage is already set up, how can we pick the fruit directly at this time!
Old Zhu didn't care about Zhu Yunying's thoughts, he had thought about this matter carefully.Although Zhu Yunying may have lost face a little in this way, it will not have a fatal impact on Zhu Yunying's authority, and he can make up for it in other places.

The most important thing is that Lao Zhu knows very well that his grandson is playing a big game of chess.Not only is it weakening the status of Confucius, but it is also attacking some interests of scholars all over the world.

Let yourself, the founding emperor, do these things, so that you can really do well.Even if there is resistance, it will be much smaller.

Although Zhu Yunying is the emperor, he is still not good enough in front of Lao Zhu.This is an obvious thing, and it is directly deprived of the power to deal with these things.For Zhu Yunying, at this time, there is only pain in her heart, and she has worked so hard to plan for a long time, but at this time, there is nothing she can do. There is really no other way.

Lao Zhu opened his mouth slowly, and said, "It may have been a long time since we recovered the Northland, and the literary style in the Northland has not flourished in all dynasties. We know this, and we didn't expect that the Northland would be full of scholars. We just wrote our own articles. If it is not good, it will cause trouble, how decent it is!"

Making trouble, Lao Zhu has completely characterized this matter at once, and this matter has become complicated.

Lao Zhu didn't say anything, and said directly, "In the future, the imperial examination will also become a standard, and the essays of those who win the list will be posted, so that those who fail can see how good their essays are. Not only the general examination, but also the courtyard examination and the rural examination. One is to show the fairness of the imperial examination, and the other is to let the poor scholars see their own abilities, if they are not capable, they should learn, and don't complain!"

Zhu Yunying felt even more distressed at this time, this was 'checking scores' and 'checking papers', although there may be some loopholes that can be exploited in such things.But in general, such practices are basically discussed by him and Lao Zhu.

Although Zhu Yunying himself often complains that he is a "useless liberal arts student", although he just wants to suppress Confucianism from time to time.It's just that Zhu Yunying is also very clear that when there are many liberal arts students, it is still useful, and Confucianism cannot be replaced now.Governing the world is still very important, and these liberal arts students are needed.

Lao Zhu continued, "Emperor, did the imperial court know about the students who led the trouble?"

Zhu Yunying immediately replied, "Go back to Grandpa Huang, your grandson is being watched."

These words suddenly made many people shudder. This matter may be more complicated than imagined, and this matter may not be the sudden event they imagined.In other words, even if it is sudden, the court is still in control.Not only is the Taishanghuang's great reputation, but today's emperor also obviously has a gully in his chest.

Old Zhu nodded slightly, and then said, "Let someone go and arrest those people, and see what the motives of these troublesome students are!"

At this time, a censor stood up, with a miserable expression, "The Supreme Emperor, if the students are arrested and tortured, I am afraid that there will be turmoil in Shilin!"

"Shilin turmoil?" Lao Zhu sneered, and then asked, "Then tell us, are these scholars worried about the chaos when they shout grievances along the street and block the civil and military officials' sedan chairs?! Failure in the imperial examination is also common. If students who fail in every subject Come on like this, will our world be chaotic?!"

Old Zhu was still angry, he grabbed the memorial and smashed it hard, "Let's follow those scholars, start a new subject, and record them all, then will our court have to raise some wine bags and rice bags?! If we are not capable, we will make trouble, and we are the emperors who make trouble! Or do we cut off all the rankings in this subject, and make 120 places for those who fail?!"

These words are too serious, and many civil and military officials are trembling, because the Supreme Emperor is speaking from his own experience, and almost put the behavior of those students into the ranks of rebellion.In this way, it is really too messy, this matter is not trivial!

But Zhu Yunying didn't care at all, because he knew that he should be so stubborn.

It does not exist that the court law does not blame the public. If this precedent is set, there may be scholars who will make trouble in the future.If you take a step back now, it will be difficult to be tough in the future.When those scholars want to make a fortune, just hit them with a stick, and smash their heads and blood!
Lao Zhu pointed at the people in the hall, and said with some sarcasm, "You guys also came from the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, scholars were not as good as prostitutes. We gave you dignity and gave preferential treatment to scholars. Is this how you are loyal to the monarch? ! If you really don’t know how to praise, we will issue an edict immediately, and the scholars will be classified as the ninth class!"

This time, there was a lot of voices in the court, all asking the Supreme Emperor to appease his anger.The dignity of a scholar was really as low as dust in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.Even the emperor of Meng Yuan once consciously eased ethnic conflicts.But the social status of a scholar is that of a 'stinky old nine'.

Zhu Yunying also stood up at this time, and said calmly, "Pass the decree, so that Jin Yiwei can arrest the troublemakers. The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Rites are assistant managers. I want to know why those students are causing trouble!"

Jin Yiwei, who was once frightening, reappeared in everyone's field of vision after keeping a low profile for a long time.Even many people know that after all these years, Jin Yiwei has never been abolished, and has always been handling cases.

It's just that it is rare for Jin Yiwei to participate in some investigations with such a big fanfare, and it even catches people off guard.It will make people think of the Hu Weiyong case, the Kongyin case, and the horrible years when the Jinyiwei Prison was overcrowded.

What the civil and military officials were thinking, Zhu Yunying actually didn't particularly care, what he needed was such an effect.Jin Yiwei needs to reappear in everyone's field of vision from the beginning, and complete the comeback in a fair and honest manner.

Lao Zhu seemed to be flipping through the list of tribute students who will take the examination, and said with some disgust, "Why are there no students from Qufu?"

Zhu Yunying quickly said, "Grandpa Huihuang, Kong Shengzu didn't invite anyone to take the test this time."

"The disciples of the Confucian sage should also make great progress." Old Zhu sighed, and said helplessly, "This time Chun Wei is so confused, and scholars are also talking about it. It is said that Yan Shenggong will go to Beijing, and the world's great scholars will come to Beijing. .We want to discuss the etiquette in court, and we want to choose a teacher for the crown prince!"

Ok?
Ah!
In an instant, the eyes of the civil servants lit up. They were quite excited at this time. They saw the signal that the imperial court reused literati.After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, those vulgar warriors have been arrogant and domineering for too long, and now it is time for scholars to make a difference.

In the past, there was no way, those vulgar warriors were unreasonable, if you reasoned with them, those people couldn't explain it, so they did it.What's more, the emperor's intentional bias also made those martial arts one by one arrogant and domineering.Of course, the emperor neglected the scholars, which many people knew, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Daming is now going to start reusing scholars, and now Daming is going to let those arrogant and domineering warriors keep a low profile.

The contemporary Lord Yansheng is going to enter the court, and the Ming Dynasty is going to discuss rituals in the court. These are important activities for the civil servants. This is a signal that the Ming Dynasty should pay attention to the literati, and these civil servants who have been suppressed have not been excited.

What excited them even more was that they were about to choose a teacher for the crown prince.

In fact, the "first emperor" was guided by a great Confucianist, and Song Lian can be regarded as half of Zhu Biao's teacher.In today's Imagami, there is actually no real teacher.When he was young, he just studied in Dahontang with a group of royal children and honorable bullets.

Although some people say that Jinshang was good at martial arts when he was young, but many people have heard more or less heard that Jinshang was different from ordinary people when he was young, and he is very smart. That's all, Ru Xun couldn't be more clear about this.

But now, Daming is going to be the teacher of the emperor's grandson, obviously he is a great Confucian, this is the future emperor.Once the prince began to attach importance to Confucianism, the dignity of scholars will soon be there.

I don't have too much hope for the Supreme Emperor, and I may not have too much expectation for the present.Then cultivate the Chujun well. As long as the Chujun ascends to the Great Treasure in the future, scholars can feel proud, and maybe they can do some great things and display their ambitions.

Old Zhu lost his temper in court and left, while Zhu Yunying continued to preside over the government, and it was still a matter of moving the capital and using troops.It also includes the imminent start of spring plowing, etc. These are all things that the emperor Zhu Yunying needs to pay attention to, and he can't be careless.

Although Lao Zhu left Fengtian Hall ahead of schedule, although he is still discussing some government affairs now.It's just that the atmosphere in Fengtian Temple is not very good, and many people are thinking about their own thoughts at this time.

Maybe they are worried about the fate of the candidates in this subject, or they are thinking about the etiquette of the court, and it is not ruled out that some people are thinking about things such as great Confucianism.

However, the things that should be done must still need to be done well, and the court has not yet come down.Moreover, even if he is in court, he still needs to go to court. Daming's salary is not so easy to get. The emperor is a workaholic, and all civil and military officials naturally need to work hard together.

This is a very normal thing, Zhu Yunying doesn't think it's strange at all.

This was the case when Lao Zhu was sitting on the dragon chair, and the same treatment was given to Xiao Zhu when he was sitting in the world. There will not be too many changes!
